To win a woman's love

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

vāñcha me tanvaṃ pādau vāñchākṣyau vāñcha sakthyau akṣyau vṛṣaṇyantyāḥ keśā māṃ te kāmena śuṣyantu

English · William Dwight Whitney

To win a woman's love

Want (vāñch) thou the body of me, the feet; want the eyes; want the thighs; let the eyes, the hair of thee, lusting after me, dry up with love.

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

mama tvā doṣaṇiśriṣaṃ kṛṇomi hṛdayaśriṣam yathā mama kratāv aso mama cittam upāyasi

English · William Dwight Whitney

I make thee cling to my arm, cling to my heart; that thou mayest be in my power, mayest come unto my intent.

Sanskrit (romanised) · Atharvaveda, Śaunaka (Sanskrit, IAST)

yāsāṃ nābhir ārehaṇaṃ hṛdi saṃvananaṃ kṛtam gāvo ghṛtasya mātaro 'mūṃ saṃ vānayantu me

English · William Dwight Whitney

They whose navel is a licking, in [whose] heart is made conciliation—let the kine, mothers of ghee, conciliate her yonder to me.
